Tonight: Commanding the Day – April Garment of Favour

Introduction: A Night of Commanding the Day
Tonight, as we enter the evening hours, the Dunamis Church international community, led by Dr. Paul Enenche, is raising a specific prayer focus: Commanding the Day. This is not a passive evening routine. It is an active, faith-filled declaration over the remainder of this week and the entire month of April.
The word released for this season is powerful and timely: The April Garment of Favour.
As the Scripture declares in Psalm 5:12, “For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favour You will surround him as with a shield.”
The Prophetic Word for April
Here is the complete prophetic declaration for this month as released by Dr. Paul Enenche:
“APRIL GARMENT OF FAVOUR 🔥👏
“For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favour You will surround him as with a shield.” — Psalm 5:12
This month, the Lord is surrounding His people with undeniable favour. Like a garment and a shield, His favour will speak for you, defend you, and open doors that no man can shut.”
Though the original post on X was truncated, the full revelation is clear: April is declared a month of garment favour—favour that covers you like a garment and protects you like a shield.
Understanding the Two Dimensions of Favour
Dr. Paul Enenche’s teaching reveals two critical ways that favour operates in the life of a believer:
1. Favour as a Garment
A garment is something you wear. It covers you, clothes you, and becomes part of your identity. When favour operates as a garment, it means:
– Favour becomes visible on you – people can see that something is different about you.
– Favour covers your nakedness – where you lack qualification, connections, or resources, favour clothes you with access and provision.
– Favour distinguishes you – just as Joseph’s coat of many colours set him apart, the garment of favour sets you apart in your workplace, family, and community.
2. Favour as a Shield
A shield is for defence. It protects you from attacks that would otherwise destroy you. When favour operates as a shield, it means:
– Enemies cannot penetrate – accusations, conspiracies, and plots are blocked before they reach you.
– You are protected while advancing – a shield does not keep you in one place; it moves with you as you go forward.
– Divine defence is active – you may not even know what favour has protected you from, but it is working constantly.
What “Undeniable Favour” Looks Like
Dr. Paul Enenche declares that this month, the Lord is surrounding His people with undeniable favour. This is not subtle or hidden favour. This is favour that:
| Characteristic | Biblical Example |
|---|---|
| Speaks for you | Daniel – found favour with kings without begging |
| Defends you | Esther – favour protected her before the king |
| Opens closed doors | Nehemiah – favour granted him passage and supplies |
| Brings promotion | Joseph – favour lifted him from prison to palace |
| Cancels negative verdicts | The Hebrew boys – favour in the fire |
When favour is undeniable, even your enemies acknowledge that God is with you. They may not like you, but they cannot stop you.
Tonight’s Commanding the Day Prayer Points
Based on the Dunamis Church prayer format for “Commanding the Day,” here are specific prayer points to pray tonight as you declare the April Garment of Favour over your life:
Opening Praise and Worship
Begin by praising God for His goodness. Thank Him that favour is not earned but given by grace. Worship Him as the One who surrounds the righteous with favour.
Prayer Point #1: Receive the Garment of Favour
Father, I receive the April Garment of Favour today. I declare that favour covers me like a robe. Where I have been overlooked, I will now be favoured. Where I have been rejected, doors will now open. I put on the garment of favour in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point #2: Activate the Shield of Favour
Lord, surround me with favour as with a shield. Protect me from every plot, plan, and scheme of the enemy. Let favour defend me before I even know I need defence. No weapon formed against me shall prosper because Your favour shields me.
Prayer Point #3: Command Your Day for Tomorrow
I command the day ahead. My tomorrow shall not be like my yesterday. Favour will speak for me at my workplace, in my business, and in my relationships. I decree that doors that have been closed for years will swing open by the garment of favour.
Prayer Point #4: Pray for Undeniable Evidence
Father, let Your favour be undeniable in my life this month. Let those who have doubted me see Your hand upon me. Let my promotion be public. Let my breakthrough be visible. I will not struggle in secret; I will prosper openly.
Prayer Point #5: Declare Favour Over Your Household
I speak favour over my family. My children walk in favour. My spouse walks in favour. Our home is covered by the shield of favour. Every member of my household will experience the April Garment of Favour.
Prayer Point #6: Thank God for Answered Prayer
Father, I thank You because You have heard me. I believe I have received the garment of favour. I believe I am surrounded by favour as with a shield. I give You praise in advance for the testimonies that are coming. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Declaration for the Night
Speak these words aloud as you conclude your prayer time:
“Tonight, I command my day. I am clothed with the April Garment of Favour. I am surrounded by favour as with a shield. Favour speaks for me. Favour defends me. Favour opens doors for me. No enemy can stop me. No closed door can hinder me. This month, my favour is undeniable. In the name of Jesus, Amen!”
Practical Steps to Walk in Favour This Month
Dr. Paul Enenche’s ministry emphasizes that faith without works is dead. Here are practical steps to align with the April Garment of Favour:
1. Walk in righteousness – Psalm 5:12 says God blesses the righteous with favour. Guard your character. Keep your conscience clear.
2. Be a favour carrier to others – Show favour to those around you. Bless others, and the blessing will return to you.
3. Speak favour daily – Do not be silent. Declare every morning: “I am surrounded by favour today.”
4. Expect open doors – Do not shrink back from opportunities. Favour is preparing places for you that you have not even asked for.
5. Give thanks in advance – Before you see the evidence, thank God for the garment of favour. Your praise activates His power.
Closing Prayer from Dunamis Church
Let us close with the prayer that many in the Dunamis Church family will pray tonight:
“Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for the April Garment of Favour. I am not striving for favour; I am receiving favour. I am not begging for doors to open; favour is opening them for me. Tonight, as I command my day, I go to sleep knowing that favour is working on my behalf. While I rest, favour is speaking. While I sleep, favour is defending. I wake up tomorrow covered, shielded, and surrounded by Your undeniable favour. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen and Amen!”
Command your day tonight. Walk in favour tomorrow. April is your month!
